One thing, that APBA Baseball for Window's Baseball Blast, was to have added
record names for Ernie Hardwell was
to get suggested names from their games by sending email. These new names
would gone into the new version of the game.
The game also used a text PBP system that used Ernie voice.
The names of ball players thought out baseball history, was its draw back
though.
Since there is so many players in baseball history, the game was only able
to be played on a CD Rom, that needed to be used.
Causeing 1. the game may freeze if the CD Rom drive was having problems or
the disk itsself was diry or scratched.
2. The drive would need to be replaced after a long playing of the game, say
over a year.
Smiles. APBA is now looking at using DVD drives I am sure for there new
version, but the game company is still working on recording new PBP with
some one new.

Hi Thomas,
I too would like Raceway to stay away from SAPI.
In Ten Pin Bowling we recorded over 100 names to be used and allowed the
customer to add their recorded name to the list.
It wasn't done as well as I had hoped and is a little difficult to do
We should have included 117.wav saying
You can record Your name here.
The same can be done for Raceway.
Have a generic track saying
You can record your track name here.
and also for the driver,
a file saying
your name for driver here.
Of course it will not sound as well as all the other names but it will be
better than SAPI trying to pronounce your name.
Phil

Hi Hayden,
Yeah, that might work but I'm not exactly a fan of Sapi. For one
thing most of the voices are too robotic or inhuman sounding and ruins
my gaming experience. The other issue is that handling Sapi in C++ is
a total pain in the butt.
The big problem is that most of Microsoft's C++ libraries require you
to convert ascii text to unicode characters which is a royal pain in
the tail. Newer languages, such as the .Net languages, automatically
do this conversion for you. As a result you can't just pass the
contents of a C++ variable to Sapi without converting the data in said
variable to unicode first. As a result I tend to avoid some of
Microsoft's Windows specific dll libraries and APIs for that specific
reason.

Hi Thomas,
I think you could, say, have SAPI support for new driver names. Look at
the
way Che did RailRacer...your tracks are announced in SAPI, and most of
the
menu content is all pre recorded human voice. I don't know howthat would
work, but I think that would be the best compromise.
Best Regard,s
